Building Your Web-to-Print Relationships

Having a web-to-print storefront can be extremely beneficial for businesses. Through setting one up, a printer can save time and resources when it comes to the process of taking orders. However, while an online storefront may accomplish the goal of reducing the printer’s workload, could it end up meaning less business in the end?

Is the online-only bride too narrow?

As more and more of our interactions with businesses, friends, and other associates move online, service providers must still seek to develop relationships with customers that simply order online. Not only will this help us open up the communication lines when it comes to customer service, but it may also lead to conversations that generate additional business opportunities.

Thanks for your comment, Stephen. Most integrations are done on a case by case basis to meet vendor needs using available methods. Some systems like my company’s, ilinkONE V8, integrates with numerous systems using various methods such as WebServices or RESTful APIs. This is sometimes referred to as EDI. The exact details of the EDI to connect two systems is very dependent on the data in each system, when events occur in the system, and what methods for EDI are available. – John
